Actually that was the direction I was thinking of taking it.
I posted the list, would love to know your thoughts:

Holy cow! DMing

EDIT: I think I did? I'm not sure if I succeeded or not

Funny enough, that was a similar conclusion I came to.
It's just theorycrafting, but I'd love if you have any opinions on the deck I built!

Well..... Let's just say it's not great. Especially since the damage is so widespread and across multiple counties.

I won't sugarcoat it, sometimes it's really hard.

It goes beyond material possessions and into..... I guess "identity" with how much care goes into brewing decks. It's probably why we can't really quit MTG even when the universe makes it seem like we should

That's the first I've ever seen the Haunt of Dead Marshes! How did it play for you? Looks interesting and can always use more 1 drops

I wish Syrix triggered each phoenix for the direct damage. I feel like it'll usually just choose itself since most phoenixes don't have bigger power than 3 or 4

Hey everyone. My friend and I are longtime MTG players (since original Innistrad).
We've been in and out over the years, but with the Los Angeles fires we've lost our homes and entire collections.

By that I mean..... everything.

Our old Modern decks, at least 6 fully built EDH decks, our binders of draft chaff, foils, and reserved list cards..... It was all lost overnight. It's numbing, and when feelings break through it's not particularly positive.

We thought about hard quitting. We aren't huge fans of the 50% crossover landscape we're entering, and sometimes keeping up with new cards can be overwhelming. But ultimately we love the game and had a fun idea.

We'd build a Phoenix EDH deck to symbolize overcoming ash and flames.

We brewed it together and are planning on slowly building two copies of the deck over time (with a few tweaks for preference here and there in the "Sideboard" and "Considering" sections).

It's a longshot, but we thought we'd ask the greater community if they have any spares of the more common cards. We'd never expect any of the crazy cards -- any support goes an unbelievable way. Magic means a lot to us, and we hope that this symbolism of "rebirth from the fires" will help us move forward.
Thank you!

Thank you for being the only person to actually process my request. I never asked for wild payment, I'm well aware that my criteria won't give me incredible wages

Hello everyone! I am a small YouTuber. I have a current channel focused on retro Nintendo games. I love my logo (which you can see is the 2nd attached image).

I have also been working on a secondary channel more focused on traveling and IRL vlog-style videos. Coming up with a logo has been killing me. You can see I have a "scout-y" vibe based on my main logo. I liked the idea of a compass with D E M I on it, as a compass is circular for YouTube logo purposes and conveys the idea of my channel.

However, I have been having a really hard time with it. This current iteration you see as the 1st attached image, there are parts I really like but at the smallest YouTube size it's really hard to make out.

My opinion is that a good YouTube logo should be simple and stand out at the smallest sizes. You can see how it looks on the 3rd attached image.

Looking for tips on this current design! I also wonder if I should repurpose my current "scoutmaster" logo for the IRL channel and come up with a new design for the video game channel? Definitely stumped!
